TO ALL WHOM I'l MAY CONCERN:

Be it known thnt I, ALBERr S. WILKINSON, of Pawtucket, in the county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented a. new and useful Improvement in Calks for Horse-Shoes; and I do hereby declare the following` to be a. full, elettr, and exact description of the same sufficient to enable one skilled inthe art to which the invention nppertains to make use of it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form :t part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is ,at bottom view of my improved shoe. i

Figure 2 is a. cressnseetiou in the line :v z of ig l. V

This invention `relates to new and useful improvements in cnlks for shoes of horses and other animals, as liereinnii'ter explained. i r

A, fig. I, in the accompanying plate of drawings, is u; light racing horse-shoe. d (l are calks which surround the outer edge of the shoe, excepting at the toe,'where o break is mede, als clearly shown in iig. l. fis another calk placed on the inner edge' of the shoe opposite the opening or breuk in the outer calli, d cl. `This method of arranging the eelks, it will be seen, gives the rolling form of toe, u. great desideratuuu in horse-shoes. The rear termination of the sections d d of the ci'tlks, fig. 2, nre rounded up s0 as to give in a. measure round` heels to the shoe, :1s shown :tt LL. This shoe, when made of sheet metal, may be cutout and stamped or swaged into, shape with great readiness.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire te secure by Letters Patent, is

A calli formed by parte d,f, d, placed alternately on the oter and inner edge of the bar A, substantially as shown and described.
